need help something is bugging me ! almost finished dd bath pics
Comments (37)I can't say that you're getting good advice on the sink issue until you answer another question or two...do you have a "real" master bath with two sinks? And did you cap off the plumbing but leave it accessable in your daughters bath? If you answered yes to both, leave the long counter. You don't have to plan for a family that does not live in your home and two sinks in a one person bathroom is rediculous (I've had it...it's awful). IF you capped off you can advertise it's ready for two sinks when you sell if you want, but don't cut a hole without knowing if it's necessary. If you don't have a real master bath you've probably made a mistake giving it to your daughter and you should plan on making a real one when you move...but again, why do it now? It's an easy fix later. Someone mentioned whispy or gauzie for the window. IMO it's absolutely necessary. If you put in a bamboo shade you've added some texture but it's still a hard texture and your bath is far too high on hard textures and way way low on soft textures and the beach is all about softness. White for your towels and mats...keep it easy and soft (again because it's missing) go fluffy on those mats...fun and fluffy. I wish I had a pic but in my condo appt I went with a color very near your color and loved it. One thing I did to soften the big mirror was to use a bunch of picture frames on the mirror painted in a shabby chic type of white. (does that make sense?) They were all cheap picture frames, but mostly bulky frames, with the pics removed and then I velcroed (double stick velcro in white) the frames to the mirror, with a big one over the sink and the balance scattered around. You'd be amazed how the harsh lines of the wall mirror disapear in the debth of the framed pieces. I am with most in that I don't like the lights, but their placement isn't the issue, it's the harshness of the fixtures themselves...but that's an easy fix if you soften up the rest of the room with texture. Fluffy white mats, towels, white frames on the mirror, a soft breezy gauzy window covering (which could be done over a grass cloth shade if you want more privacy) and some lovely counter accessories (candles and sand, grasses etc) would really make the room sing, and fix all of your issues (IMO) I'd consider doing the gauzy covering by tacking the gauze to a whispy piece of thin beach wood for the curtain rod, and then hot glue sea shells or sand dollars or star fish every five or six inches as if they were holding up the gauze... A collection of antique perfume spritzers would be a lovely accessory to bridge your tween into teen....See MoreHelp me finish off my master bedroom
Comments (6)I love the first chair you posted, but I definitely agree that if you are looking to actually use it to curl up in, I don't think that one is it. I think any of the others will be very nice, but I think my preference would be the last 2. ( I am also looking into a chair for bedroom. I do have one that does have arms and I do use it but it's more of a queen anne type so not super curl up in. I think if you have room for it, an ottoman with a chair would be really good)....See MoreHelp me put the finishing touches on our bedroom!
Comments (17)THANK YOU all! I definitely feel less "stuck" now! nicole: Yes, rewrapping the bed is a great idea. I do have a natural linen duvet that I change to in the summer--I change up the pillows and throw. jck910: You are absolutely right! The nightstands and bench ARE all scrunched up! I can easily change that up and also move the rug down so the bench is entirely on the rug. Yes, new lamps are in the plan--just haven't found the right ones yet. (or the right ones at the right price!) njmomma and Beverly: Thank you for the great eye candy and ideas! Our bed is actually a queen size, although it looks a bit squatty in the pictures. We have room for a king size, but we really don't want a bed that big--weird, I know. Round elements are a great idea--I'm also thinking I need more texture. I will mention the color in my pics is waaaay off! The walls are Sherwin Williams Ethereal Gray, which is a definite Greige. In my pics it looks very brown--and even greenish. OK--I feel much better and back on track now! Thanks again!...See MoreHelp me finish my “lounge/bar” room
Comments (62)I like what you've done too! Since you asked, the bare wood colors of the bar and the floor appear to work against each other which makes the space look choppy. One way to bring cohesion with all your different elements is to layer a larger rug underneath your animal rug. Also, I know you decided to leave the soffit white but consider painting the baseboard on the accent wall so it blends in with the wall color. You could also add a small coffee table. The photos of your progress are fun, thanks for keeping us updated!...See Moresimstress
